Legia Warsaw News and Form

There is nothing wrong with the form of Legia Warsaw this season. They started their Europa League campaign in the first qualifying round where they eased to a 3-0 aggregates success over Europa. Then they were relatively untroubled in getting past KUPS Kuopio in the next round. Their third qualifying round tie, Legia Warsaw wrapped up away from home with a 2-0 aggregate win over Atromitos. That is six Europa League games played this season, no goals conceded. Their home form from their ties so far this season is W2 D1. So they could prove to be a very stubborn opponent for Rangers to break down. Legia Warsaw have failed in their last four qualification campaigns to reach the group stage of a UEFA tournament.

Rangers News and Form

Rangers have been very strong through the early part of the season. They too started in the first qualifying round of the Europa League where they thumped St Joseph’s 10-0 on aggregate. Then they collected a relatively comfortable 2-0 aggregate win over Progres Niedercorn before winning out 7-3 on aggregate over Midtjylland in an entertaining third qualifying round tie.

That is a W8 D1 record that Rangers have taken in all competitions this season and they have scored at least two goals in all of their wins. The thing that boss Steven Gerrard is going to be a little bit concerned about is the lack of clean sheets. They conceded in both legs against Midtjylland and have bagged only one clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions.
